'Letters Patent No. 95,2429, dated l ;Sfeptvmtber 28, 1869.

The Schedule referred Vto .in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To allay/hom it may concern A Be it'jkno'wn that I, HORACE R. HUIE, of Haywards, County' of Alameda, State of California, have invented au .Improved Gang-Plow; and I do hereby declarethe following description and accompanying drawings are suiiicient to enable any 'person'skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly appertains, to make and use my said invention or improvement without further invention or experiment.

My invention relates to that Class of gang-plows in which the plowrframe is attached. toa pai r of wheels, o1' truck; and n It Consists in connecting the frame with the trucks in such a manner th it the pointot the plows, when 'theyare lifted out of `the ground, will be raised-first, .thus causing them to be disengaged gradually, instead of being lifted vertically, and thus carrying with them ,a weight of earth, to be lifted also.

It also Consists in a novel manner of attaching the pole and seat of the plow to the axle, whereby strength and firmness are attained.

To jmore fully explain ,my invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, and letters marked thereon, forming a part of this specification, in 'which- Figure 1 is aside View;

` Figure 2 is a view of the plate which supports the,

seat andA pole.

A A are the two wheels of a truck, one of the wheels l A being placed upon the Ciankend of' the axle B.

To the axle is attached one end of a metal plate, C, by some suitable means, uponwhich the plow-beam D rests, the frontend `of the plate ubeing bolted to the beamen the under side; ,Y

` The seat E is built upon the plate C, the four standards resting upon the four Corners of the plate.

Secured to the axle B, on each side of the plate C, are arms F-F, the opposite en ds of which are attached loosely to the front ends of the timbers G G of the plow-frame,

The pole or beam D extends back between the two timbers G G, `its rear end being conuected'with the frame by a link, H, which is hinged both to the beam Aand frame, so as to turn as the frame is raised.

A lever, I, is secured tothe arm F, by moving which the frame is raised and lowered, being confined iu the t-he lever, so asto elevate the frontend of the frame,

the rear end will be also raised, being caused to do so by the forward -motio'n of the frame, but will not be moved until the front end has been lifted a short distance, in order to carry the plows ont of the ground before the entire frame is elevated.

One of the advantages claimed for this plow is its simplicity, consisting, asit does, of few parts, which are not liableV to get out of order, and, on this accoun't,

Vrendering it economical, while. it will do equally as good work as any ofthe plows of a more complicated and costly character.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secu're by Letters Pat 1. Attaching the rear end of the plow-beam-D to the rem end of the plow-frame, by means of a link, H, substantially as herein-described.

2. The metal plats C, or equi-valent device, secured to theaxleBand pole D, in the manner above de.-

scribed, for the purpose set'forth.V

In witness whereof', I have hereunto set my hand and seal. l
